"Excellent stay! The staff were friendly and attentive, and I especially appreciated the variety of amenities, including the pools, outdoor spaces, gym, and games. The property was also within walking distance of a private beach, with complimentary chairs and umbrellas available, which made everything so convenient. Traveling with a toddler was incredibly easy because we rarely needed to leave the property. Having great food and everything we needed right on-site made it easy to relax, unwind, and enjoy our time together as a family. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back!"

"i really enjoyed staying here, and for a great price- we were within walking distance of the beach! Well worth it for a young couple trying to save money and have a good time in Destin. Also- this was a very quiet hotel with not that much traffic of people so that was a bonus too :-) Also also- the free breakfast is always a plus! <3 Thank you for the wonderful stay!"

"The hotel was in great shape and the staff was very friendly, but there were e unsupervised young men that ran all the hotel unattended. When I spoke to the front desk I was told they stay there all the time and they were always running around everywhere by themselves. The pool, the breakfast area, rummaging through the food, touching all the food, and then leaving a mess. They swam unattended, road the bikes unsupervised, and just generally took over any area where they were. They were loud and very disrespectful, but since they stay there alot the staff felt that their behavior was tolerable. We did not."

"The room was clean and the area quiet. No elevator, and the stairs outside was narrow- hard to navigate with a suitcase. Never found coffee in the morning, but a good stay for the price."
